Should I taper off NDT?
I mean, if I really wasn't hypo, what would happen if I took
NDT
? I would love to see what my body is like without
NDT
. - Can I taper like 0,5 grain a week? - I read somewhere that the thyroid shrinks when you take
NDT
, so it cannot produce hormones anymore. Is this true?

Should I switch to NDT from levo?
Also, because we travel often and T4 is so easy for me to get hold of, not the case with
NDT
.

Success or otherwise of Taking Levothyroxine Plus Metavive ?
And having tried
NDT
at length.. For about 8 months been on a mix of Metavive and Levo.. I only take 25 mcg Levo..clearly not enough in itself… And Metavive 111 x2 isn’t quite enough ..and 3 is too much… Spent months trying to to raise it further but that’s it now.

Can someone please remind me of how far through ranges is usually best?
My TSH is 0.01 but it’s surpressed because I take
NDT
. Current dose 100mcg thyroxine, 1/2 grain ERFA twice daily. Many thanks (Bloods taken inline with protocol suggested on this site)

Adding T4 to NDT?
Switched to
NDT
in August 2022, increasing the dosage to 4 grains now (Feb 2023). Not feeling any different. Blood work show mid-range T3, below mid-range T4, and very low TSH. Wondering if I should add some T4 to my regimen to get the T4 in range? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.... -a

Dr Tara Kearney any feedback please
booked to see her mid April but just trying to make sure it's good fit for me.I have low thyroid but never been tested for Hashimoto's and 11 years ago at the age of 33 was diagnosed with POI (premature ovarian failure) I wonder what's her opinion on full panel testing (Hashimoto's not only T's) ,

Newly diagnosed thinking of trying metavive.
Maybe I’ll try Levo first then
NDT
or glandulars after that if I don’t feel better. She did say most people do well on Levo but I’m still sceptical.

How do I start combining T3 with levothyroxine?
A few years ago I used to take
NDT
and felt quite well on this, but I stopped because of sudden weird symptoms of panic etc - I thought I might have had a bad batch. Anyway, I now have some 5 mcg T3 tablets but am unsure how to start taking them. Should I get private blood tests done first?

adrenal testing on the nhs?
it's really frustrating. i have always been a none responder to
NDT
, going up as high as 5 grains , and i feel like my adrenals are suboptimal.

Advice on blood results based on increase.
I decided are per advice here to increase my
NDT
so I took an extra 1/4 grain of
NDT
daily. New Dosage being 2 & 1/4 grains of
NDT
and 25mcg levo. I haven’t been feeling great on this, I have had headaches, vision funny, fast heart rate, and freezing cold, tearful and anxious.

A Dream
Get treated with t4 t3 or
NDT
and monitored …. Vitamins too …. All missing ingredients added into the mix …. Until we are in normal working levels. Where we go in like a doggy Victoria sponge and come out like a wonderful Bake off extravaganza.

Adrenal gland concentrate recommendation? Used Nutri Advanced but now discontinued.
For further details, it was an endo (many moons ago) who recommended that when I take T3 or
NDT
to support the adrenals at the same time.

ERFA Source
Hi. I remember from a long time ago, there is one stockist abroad that will sell ERFA without needing a prescription. I would be really grateful if anyone can tell me who it is by PM, thanks. I am desperate to try it as Thyroid S is no longer working for me. My health authority will not prescribe any

#1: The Start
It doesn't matter how much T4, T3,
NDT
I take or in what ratio, symptoms persist. Some become more or less exaggerated, others reduce only to then reappear, I have even acquired more along the way.

where to go next?
or try an alternative way of accessing T4 & T3 meds/
NDT
. would I just be wasting money |(that I don't really have) trying the private endo route? GP has been messaging NHS endo-but they aren't interested. any suggestions or advice would be gratefully received.

Thyroid results - advised to get bone scan
I take four grains of
NDT
, four and half in winter, and do 40 mins of yoga at home 3-4 times a week. I also lift some weights most days. I get no support from GP re my thyroid apart from an NHS blood test annually if I remind them I need one! Thanks for any comments.
